Summary

“It’s that time of the day again” Katsuki says, casually, like he had not just deliberately opened up a gash in Izuku’s cheek. He steps closer, shoulders tense, hands balled tight enough to produce sparks—his trademark stance. Izuku’s known him long enough to recognize it. “Come on”.

“Kacchan, stop,” Izuku says calmly, but he stands with his back straightened, feet apart—just in case Katsuki tries anything. “Don’t you have anything better to do than pick fights at—” he squints at his watch. “2:49. In the morning”.

or: the one where bakugou is accidentally seductive and midoriya is ridiculously charmed.

Summary

The truth is that Midoriya doesn’t remember what his first kiss with Bakugou was like – he doesn’t recall the taste of Bakugou’s mouth, nor the touch of his lips. What he remembers is his heart racing as he’d called Bakugou out after their graduation ceremony and what came after the kiss ended, when Midoriya’s mouth had already left Bakugou’s and his grip on Bakugou’s upper arms had loosened. He remembers swollen lips and the ragged edge to the way that Bakugou had inhaled. He remembers looking up and looking to Bakugou’s eyes to find an expression there that he had never seen on Bakugou before, something soft and unguarded and pliable. And in that moment, he somehow knew as a course of instinct: Kacchan will let me kiss him again, just one more time, and then he’ll pull away.
